About Trigger Transformers

Key Features

• Engineered for precision high-voltage pulse generation, these trigger transformers deliver up to 20kV output with step-up ratios ranging from 1:50 to 1:70.
• Featuring epoxy-encapsulated windings and UL-compliant construction, they achieve ultra-low DCR (as low as 41.2mΩ primary) and stable performance across -65°C to +150°C.
• Compact designs with DIP/SMT mounting ensure seamless integration into space-constrained boards.
• Optimized for fast rise times and minimal waveform distortion in photoflash systems.
